46
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: obviously talking about the nets. We did record an emergency

47
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: podcast yesterday afternoon to discuss the Nets and head coach

48
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: Steve Nash parting ways. Twenty five thirty minute podcasts got

49
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: back here in the Classic Factory to weigh in on

50
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: that in real time. So highly recommend you go check

51
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: that out if you haven't already, it's up on YouTube

52
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: and it's in your podcast feed. But let's get to

53
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: the games, and we will start with Trey Kirby's Chicago

54
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: Bulls Zach Lavine going off in the fourth quarter twenty

55
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: points as the Bulls beat the Nets in their first game.

56
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: After Steve Nash, we can talk about the game. I

57
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: know we'll get to Sean Mark's press conference and the

58
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: fallout from everything yesterday, But what do you think about

59
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: your bulls? There?

60
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 4: Fired coach bump is usually pretty powerful, and it was

61
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 4: looking powerful for the Nets. Yeah, I thought they were

62
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 4: gonna take it down, But apparently the weekday Bulls are

63
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 4: stronger than the fired coach Bump. Still undefeated Monday through Friday,

64
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 4: the Chicago Bulls are four and oh oh and four

65
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 4: on the weekends.

66
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 2: Wow, amazing, it's a weird one.

67
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe their union. Zach Levine did say postgame hard

68
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 4: work pays off and it certainly did for him in

69
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 4: this one. Twenty nine points, twenty of them coming in

70
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 4: the fourth quarter. Outscored the Nets on his own. Most

71
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 4: of his points came with DeMar DeRozan on the bench

72
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 4: as well, which was pretty nice for the Bulls to see.

73
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 4: Basically all jumpers for Levine. Some of them were miscommunications

74
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 4: from the nets and he ended up with a wide

75
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 4: open three that's money, But other ones he was making

76
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 4: nice dribble moves step backs off his one leg, which

77
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 4: I thought was pretty cool to see and had the

78
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 4: announcers go getting pretty excited that he looked like he

79
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 4: had some pop after uh, some knee surgery over the summer.

80
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 4: I also thought the Bulls Chaos lineup was really good.

81
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 4: Levine is the star of that one, but he's out

82
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 4: there with Alex Caruso, Javonte Green, Io, des Soon Mu

83
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 4: and some other guy. They're gonna sometimes go Derek Jones Junior,

84
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 4: sometimes Patrick Williams, sometimes Vucevic, But basically, we're putting all

85
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 4: of our athletes on the floor. We're going to force

86
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 4: as many turnovers as possible and run up and down

87
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 4: the court. The Nets turn the ball over eighteen times.

88
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 4: The Bulls only nine times. So that's really how they

89
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 4: got it done. It was that second unit plus Zach

90
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 4: and then a huge explosion from Levine in the fourth quarter.

91
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 2: I really hope that they never win on the weekends.

92
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: Just keep winning during the week Maybe it's the Jim

93
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 2: boiling vibes.

94
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 4: In time out last night. That's some boiling vibes.

95
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, weird. He got a fast break.

96
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: It was a three and two break, no no time.

97
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a little game five, Nick Nurse, What

98
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 2: are you doing? What are you doing? We're up here,

99
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 2: Nick Nurse. Anyway, the Zach Lavine part of this was

100
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 2: so fun. He's got that hunch going. He's one of

101
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 2: the biggest hunters in the game. When he's hunting down

102
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 2: his move. When he's got it really going, he's got

103
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 2: that lean over. Yeah, he can rise up out of

104
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 2: that hunch real quick. And that one you sort of

105
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 2: talked about where he looks like he's going into a

106
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 2: triple jump, like he's bounding into the lane, stops on

107
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 2: that knee that he had surgery on and was able

108
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 2: to rise and hit shots. Yeah. It's a fun experience

109
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 2: and it sure looked like the bulls brought their hard

110
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 2: hats and we're gonna you know, I should sorry. I

111
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 2: met the Nets brought their hard hats. We're gonna outdo

112
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 2: the Bulls in this game. It looked like they're working

113
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 2: hard yet Utah Watson Abe, who I think is one

114
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 2: of the lowest paid Brooklyn Nets, but probably one of

115
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 2: the most liked Brooklyn Nets, because he's freaking working there,

116
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 2: beside Kevin Durant working on defense, flying around. There's just

117
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 2: not enough of those guys on the Brooklyn Nets. But

118
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 2: it felt like they were gonna they were able to

119
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 2: pull it out and be able to pull it out

120
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 2: and absolutely was taken away by just great movement by

121
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 2: the Chicago Bulls in that fourth quarter. It was really

122
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 2: really nice thing about the Brooklyn Nets is that they

123
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 2: don't have a home court advantage. It's just such a

124
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 2: dead arena and you go to New York. I think

125
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 2: it's easy for the opposing team to get up, but

126
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 2: I think it's hard for the home team to get

127
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 2: up in these instances. And Kevin Durant was phenomenal. And

128
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 2: we'll get into the sort of the roster breakdown of

129
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,239
Speaker 2: if it can turn around with the new head coach.

130
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 2: But beyond Kevin Durant. This was a rough game offensively

131
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 2: for the Brooklyn Nets.

132
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: Zach Lavine definitely the closer in last night's game. DeRozan,

133
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: like I would say, but dragic in the first half

134
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 1: where it was keeping the Bulls alive. He hit three triples.

135
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,239
Speaker 1: He finished with fifteen points overall, and Patrick Williams, who

136
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of Bulls fans wonder what's he

137
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: doing out there? Is he doing anything? This was one

138
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: of his more complete games, which I mean not saying

139
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 1: a whole lot. He finished with twelve and seven, but

140
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: made some moves, was a little aggressive at and you

141
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: knew he was there. I think that's the key part.

142
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: So I thought he had a pretty decent game for

143
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: Chicago's Well, I'm sure you agree.

144
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 4: One hundred percent. Really stuffed the box score twelve points,

145
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 4: seven rebounds and assists to steal a couple of nice blocks.

146
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 4: He was using his body and his athleticism and his strength.

147
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 4: He was actually bumping guys off the lane, and he

148
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 4: was looking to shoot and looking to make plays, and

149
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 4: the balls were putting in in positions where he could

150
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 4: actually make plays as the role man or stuff like that.

151
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 4: So yeah, I was encouraged to see him playing with

152
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 4: so much force. That's not something you always get from

153
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 4: Patrick Williams. But he's had three nice games in a row.

154
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 4: Seems to be finding his rhythm here and that would

155
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 4: be huge for the Bulls if he can actually be

156
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 4: a contributor this season.

157
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: So the net S Duranco's for thirty plus, as he

158
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: sort of always does. He already brought up Watanabe with

159
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,119
Speaker 1: a real energy off the bench, Sumner, I thought, again,

160
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: energy guy. He played okay in stretches there. Roych O'Neill,

161
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: did he have I mean, a season high at least

162
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: in points, if not career high for that guy. They

163
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: hit a lot of threes and they still lose comfortably

164
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: here and a big part of it, let's be honest,

165
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: is Kyrie Irving scoring four points to a twelve shooting

166
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: What happened here with Kyrie? Chuck said it was stress

167
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: during the TT halftime show. That's what he said.

168
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, Chuck knows probably more than I do as far

169
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 2: as relating to an athlete. I can't really try and

170
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 2: do the whole body language here with Kyrie, but I

171
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 2: guess it's possible. I can just evaluate what I see

172
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 2: on the floor and what I see on the floor

173
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 2: is a bunch of guys playing well. Like you mentioned

174
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 2: Royce O'Neill, who they traded a first round draft pick for,

175
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 2: he's been balling to start this season. They just lack

176
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 2: a big and their third guy in Ben Simmons just

177
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 2: can't play anywhere close to his capabilities, anywhere close to

178
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 2: his salary structure. So that's where they're going to struggle

179
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 2: big time. But if you're getting you're getting good roy O'Neil,

180
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 2: You're getting good Utah Watonaby he makes less than two

181
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 2: million dollars on this roster. But you can't break through

182
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 2: because guys like I would assume wo look like the

183
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 2: fastest player in the freaking world. Yeah, playing against his

184
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 2: Brooklyn Net's defense, he was able to just he saw

185
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 2: rim and he would just bline it. Those were straight

186
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 2: line drives top of the key, boom to the rim

187
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 2: because the Nets just don't have enough Even if they

188
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 2: have a roy O'Neill and he's they don't have a

189
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 2: lot of footspeed on the perimeter and they don't have

190
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 2: a lot of rim protection. So it's it's going to

191
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 2: be a struggle and get him back to Kyrie well,

192
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 2: what is it? Yeah, who knows. I mean he came

193
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 2: in and participated in the fourth quarter there a little bit,

194
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 2: but that was that was a bad Kyrie.

195
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: Caruso's a hell of a defender too. That was nothing

196
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: easy for for Kyrie last night. That was of course,

197
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: you know, that should be your game plan, obviously, trying

198
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: to slow him. But it was strange him not having

199
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: any points in the first half. I mean, that's that's

200
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: rare for a guy that scores thirty in a sleep.

201
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 4: Basically his worst game is a nut right, It's the

202
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 4: first time he'd had a scoreless half. He was completely

203
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 4: taken out of the game by Io and by Caruso

204
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 4: just getting into him and kind of out efforting Kyrie.

205
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 4: Eighteen turnovers though for the nets, that was bad. They

206
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 4: were just loose and sloppy with the ball. They don't

207
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 4: they have not yet cared enough season to win games,

208
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 4: and you could tell that that was the case last night.

209
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: And did you hear what Kevin Durant said about those

210
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: turnovers when as specifically about his turnovers, He's like, I'm paraphrasing,

211
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: but like, well, yeah, I get I got five guys

212
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: on me. Yeah, I'm going to turn the ball over.

213
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: That's what he said. Yeah, that's basically what he said.

214
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I mean he had twenty in the first half,

215
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 4: so he should be getting five teams, but he was.

216
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 4: And it's like, you'll take your chances with anybody else

217
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 4: besides Kevin Durant, even Kyrie Irving when he's having a

218
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 4: bad game, because the numbers are just they can't add up.

219
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 4: Right now, the Nets can get the sixty points, no problem,

220
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 4: the next forty big time problems.

221
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's it's here. It comes in a time

222
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 2: where Royce O'Neil, as you said, probably definitely a season high,

223
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 2: you know, was a career high twenty. Yeah, yeah, he is.

224
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 2: He is balling, and you know, Roys O'Neil is a

225
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 2: bit of the Chris Middleton Ferris wheel. He'll fall off

226
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 2: at some point during the season. So it's a bad omen. Obviously,

227
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 2: Ben Simmons is out right now, so there's not a

228
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 2: lot of positives here for the Brooklyn Nets.

229
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: Yesterday, after we did our emergency podcast on Nash and

230
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: the Nets partying ways, Sean Marx held a press conference.

231
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: Any takeaways from this one here from Sean marks Well.

232
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 2: When he was asked if i Udoka is imminently going

233
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,959
Speaker 2: to be named head coach, he said absolutely not. So

234
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 2: he's he's strong with that. But I don't believe anything

235
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 2: that comes out of any member of the organization's mouth.

236
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 2: I can't, I will not. I will not be duped again.

237
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 2: I've been duped many a time. Steve Nash said right

238
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 2: before James Harden was traded last year, No, he doesn't

239
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 2: want to be dealt. He is not going to be moved.

240
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 2: He got traded right away. Joe Sigh in the off

241
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 2: season said we are behind our front office and our

242
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 2: head coach Nash. Aah, just like that. Kevin Durant said

243
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 2: he learned about Steve Nash being fired when he woke

244
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 2: up from his nap and he looked to his right,

245
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 2: I said, he said, I looked to my right and

246
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 2: I was shocked.

247
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 4: Shocked.

248
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 2: To the rights of right.

249
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: That's a lie too.

250
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 2: I'm not saying he lied about saying the TV on

251
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 2: the left. His TV's definitely on the left. No, he

252
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 2: is absolutely lying that he was shocked. The body language

253
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 2: you can see throughout these first seven games before U

254
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 2: before yesterday is terrible for Kevin Durant, his head is hanging.

255
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 2: He knows that Steve Nash's head is on the chopping block.

256
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 2: So I'm not going to believe that Sean Marks is

257
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 2: not imminently going to hire. I sure feels like it's

258
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 2: gonna happen very soon whoever they hire, and I think

259
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 2: it is going to be Udoka. And the only question

260
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 2: I have is if public pressure will get to the

261
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 2: nets do they care? Do they care that immediately people

262
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 2: say you're going to hire that guy with all the

263
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 2: baggage that comes along with him. That's my question. Will

264
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 2: public pressure be have any sort of effect? Probably not.

265
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 2: It doesn't feel like.

266
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 1: Think so with this organization. If anything, they're like, oh cool,

267
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: a different distraction from the one that's probably much more

268
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: seeing Kyrie Irving and us the way we're playing. Fine, Hey,

269
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: look at this crazy shiny thing over here and maybe

270
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: distract us all.

271
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 2: I don't know.

272
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see if Sean's and Wolfs are saying it

273
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: ninety nine point nine percent, it's happening, and Mark's just

274
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: sort of has to come up there and say, oh no, no,

275
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: not imminent. I I'm with you. I wasn't buying that

276
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: any takeaways from Marx he had a lot to say

277
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: or not say.

278
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 4: Really, yeah, I mean I thought the Udoka stuff was interesting.

279
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 4: For sure, he's trying to leave himself a little bit

280
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,959
Speaker 4: of wiggle room in case there's enough public pressure, because

281
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 4: that seems to me the only thing that would really

282
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 4: change the minds of the Nets is if it hits

283
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 4: him in the pocketbooks. It does send a terrible message

284
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 4: to every woman fan of the NBA that this guy's

285
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,599
Speaker 4: got to be hired back to coach one of the

286
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 4: most famous teams in the league with two of the

287
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 4: most famous players right away. But I also think they

288
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 4: are gonna hire Udoka because, like you're saying, Skeets, now

289
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 4: is the time. Now is the time to have all

290
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 4: of the drama around your team, because we might as

291
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 4: well just answer every possible question we have, and they

292
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 4: are gonna switch it to talking about Udoka because Kyrie Irving,

293
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 4: apparently talking to media right now, needs to simmer down

294
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 4: so we don't cause any fuss. Honestly, probably smart business

295
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 4: from the Nets, because when Kyrie's going in to the

296
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 4: press conferences, it's going poorly. But also, the guy said

297
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 4: he was the voice for the voiceless, and now he's

298
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 4: literally voiceless.

299
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, my choice. Yeah, it's a good point that they're

300
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 2: happy to divert your eyes to something else because something

301
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 2: that sort of went under the radar yesterday with Sean

302
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 2: Mark saying, yeah, Kyrie's not talking tonight. He didn't talk

303
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 2: yesterday as well. But because there's so much news going

304
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 2: on with this Udoka situation, that will take the limelight

305
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 2: off Kyrie for a while. But it is unfortunate. Kyrie

306
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 2: once said that he wasn't going to talk to the

307
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 2: media a couple of years ago. He said he wasn't

308
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 2: going to he wasn't going to do press at all

309
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 2: that season, and then that changed, and it is unfortunate

310
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 2: that we haven't heard from him with some sort of

311
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 2: public apology, public acknowledgment for the posts of the anti

312
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 2: Semitic novel slash movie that he posted. Nothing nothing since

313
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 2: then to acknowledge it.

314
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: My big big takeaway from Marx's talking to the media

315
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: yesterday it was there was another parting Ways statement coming

316
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: very soon from this team, and it's gonna be Sean

317
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: Marks and the Nets party was, yeah, well that's where

318
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to go. I mean, that's the pecking order.

319
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: How this usually happens right after disappointment. After disappointment, it's

320
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: you know, coach first, and then it's gonna be GM

321
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: and he just look, I didn't envy the guy having

322
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: to get up there, and I guess go through the

323
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: motions of no, we don't know who our coach is

324
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: going to be and oh yeah, no, the players didn't

325
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: know that Steve Nash was gonna be gone, even though

326
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: your superstar had an ultimatum during the summer of like

327
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: it's me or him. You know, he just had to

328
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: like sort of lie as and he wouldn't be the

329
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: first person to do that in a press conference, but

330
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: he feels like he feels like the next dead man

331
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: walking here that he's gonna be gone, and and maybe

332
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: he'll be happy too to get out of this because

333
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: JUSTI is gonna have to, I would think, because I

334
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: guess we can get into now, can the Nets selfish

335
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: this season? Is Udoka capable of turning this team around?

336
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: Is any other coach have the ability to get this

337
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: team back into like a contender status this season or

338
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: what has to happen for that?

339
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 2: I highly highly doubt that this Net season can be

340
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 2: turned around from especially because where it's coming from the

341
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 2: last two years. It's only gone downhill since they won

342
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 2: that playoff series they were swept last year, and considering

343
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 2: where they are now with this roster, I don't want

344
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 2: to be hot taky, but I think the Lakers roster

345
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 2: is better right now. I'd rather have the Lakers roster

346
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 2: than this Nets roster because how will it get better.

347
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 2: Ben Simmons is literally not playing right now, and I

348
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 2: know people want to give him time and all that,

349
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 2: but the third highest paid player on this team, who

350
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 2: they desperately need to be a defender and play bigger

351
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 2: than he is, he does not look good and I

352
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 2: don't see it getting better anytime soon. This team is

353
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 2: just too tiny. Nothing to trade really on this roster,

354
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 2: I don't think unless they blow it up Kevin Durant, Yeah,

355
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 2: I mean then that's a different different path for this team.

356
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 2: That's not salvaging the season. That's probably doing the right

357
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 2: thing they should have done in the offseason.

358
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: I don't think you would bring in Udoka if that

359
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: does happen to then trade Kevin Durant.

360
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 2: Right, And that's the weird thing. Why would you sign

361
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 2: a joke a long term when you know that this

362
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 2: thing can just blow up in an instant. Kyrie can

363
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 2: say I'm gone, Kevin Durant can say I'm gone. Look,

364
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 2: Kyrie's not signed beyond this year. Yeah, I don't know

365
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 2: why you sign a big name coach in Udoka as

366
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 2: far as the basketball goes, because they can't even win

367
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 2: a coach bump game. They can't even win that and

368
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 2: they're two and six. I don't see much improvement. They're

369
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 2: just too tiny. As well as far as the basketball goes,

370
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 2: the vibes are obviously horride. TJ. Warren's gonna come back

371
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 2: and save the day. I doubt it. I just unless

372
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 2: they're going to outscore teams, which they were able to

373
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 2: last year, and they've got one of the best scores

374
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 2: in the game obviously, and Kevin Durant, I don't see it.

375
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: I just don't see it.

376
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm with Tass. I don't think the roster unless

377
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 4: there's a significant change, there's no way they'll be good

378
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 4: at defense. Maybe they can be a top five offensive team, maybe,

379
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 4: I have a lot of doubts about that. If you're

380
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 4: gonna be playing Claxton and Simmons big minutes, which you

381
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 4: kind of have to. If you want to have any

382
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 4: chance on defense. But I don't think Ben Simmons is

383
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 4: ever gonna be the same kind of player that we

384
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 4: saw before. He also was never a five before, and

385
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 4: now they're expecting him to be their rim deterrent, their

386
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 4: switch guy, getting the passing lanes, push the tempo score

387
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 4: in transition. This is Ben Simmons, Like he didn't play

388
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 4: for two years and now he's got to be the

389
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 4: most important defensive player on your team. I don't think

390
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 4: that's gonna happen. Nobody on this team can rebound, so

391
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 4: lots of extra shots for the opponents. Vouch had a

392
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 4: huge game last night, so I don't know. I'm also

393
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,199
Speaker 4: a little concerned with the way that Udoka coaches, because

394
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 4: his success with the Celtics last year is being like,

395
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 4: these guys don't play hard. These guys are being jerks

396
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 4: out there on the court, basically just calling his team

397
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 4: out after every game until they got the message and

398
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 4: turned it around.

399
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

400
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 4: Try that with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. Seout goes.

401
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think Durant probably wants that, but I don't

402
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 2: know how they're gonna respond either. I have no idea,

403
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 2: no idea.

404
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: You think Kevin Durant wants that, well, he wants an.

405
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 2: He wants an asshole for the rest of the roster.

406
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 2: I think, like, I mean, he's hanging his head. He's

407
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 2: he is giving it a lot. He wants some fighters

408
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 2: beside him, some scrappers beside him.

409
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: I think Kevin Durant changes his mind every third day

410
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: and goes back and forth between I love just a player, coach.

411
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 1: We don't need to coach. Let's just hoop to then

412
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: you're probably right, and then it swerves the other way

413
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 1: to like, yeah, we need guys in here that's gonna fight.

414
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: He loved when Nash got tossed out. Oh there's that.

415
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 1: There's the spirit. I just think the guy goes back

416
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: and forth. But you know, he goes back and forth,

417
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: back and forth, back and forth, probably his mood day

418
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: to day. But he always plays hard and is always

419
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: a walking bucket. So you can make that work. And

420
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 1: then then there's the whole of course Kyrie and what's

421
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 1: he going to say, and what's how is he's gonna act,

422
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: and what you know, the next distraction or drama that

423
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 1: he's going to bring to a locker room. I'm with

424
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: you guys. I'm not like I saw somebody in the

425
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: stream stream team asking define salvagible, Like what is that

426
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: even meet for this net season? Get into the playoffs?

427
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 2: That's their goals are obviously way higher, right right, So

428
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 2: salageable would mean, you know, being a top seed winning

429
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 2: a playoff series the very least.

430
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: I would say, who's gone next?

431
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 4: Then?

432
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: I think it's sewn Marks. Do you think it's Kyrie?

433
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: Do you think it's I mean, it's wild, but could

434
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 1: it be like, let's just trade Kevin Durant, get picks

435
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: back and get a nice haul back. Maybe wait until

436
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: you know Ayton can be traded from the Suns and

437
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: revisit that. Maybe Massaio Jerry sneaks in there, low ball

438
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: offers the nets and gets him up to Toronto like

439
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons. I mean, who's next, Who's gone?

440
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 2: Well, it should be a whole revamp of the roster,

441
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 2: I think, But I think the odds on favorite is

442
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 2: Sean Marx. If Kevin Durant leaves, he's taking Utah Watson

443
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 2: Abi with him. He loves that guy. That guy plays

444
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 2: hard beside him. I'm sure they want to redo and

445
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 2: would love to trade back that first round pick for

446
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 2: Royce O'Neil, or get back that first round pick for

447
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 2: Royce O'Neil. I think they should tear it down. Odds

448
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 2: are sean marks, but you know, to be a little

449
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 2: different to get a little value. Bet here, I'm gonna

450
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 2: go Kyrie Irving because again, he is a free agent

451
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 2: this offseason. Do you want to get something for him,

452
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 2: you have to trade him because I don't think you

453
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 2: want to negotiate a long term deal. Now, maybe you

454
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 2: can get into the offseason say yeah, well you're not

455
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,199
Speaker 2: getting a match from somewhere else, so we'll get you

456
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 2: on the cheap for next year.

457
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 1: But no way, there's no way k Kyrie Irving returns

458
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 1: to the Nets next season.

459
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 2: But where only if he doesn't get another offer. Where's

460
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 2: the offer going to come?

461
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 1: So I do not think the Nets will be offering

462
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: him a deal if he's still there at the end

463
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: of this season. If he's not.

464
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 2: Traded at the time, I definitely think they should trade him.

465
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 2: But is there somebody gonna be knocking on his door

466
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 2: saying three for ninety Yeah, I mean.

467
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I think in the summer, I think

468
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 4: that teams will definitely pursue Kyrie, So I think he's

469
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 4: the next to leave, and I think it won't be

470
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 4: until the summer. I don't think anybody's gonna trade for

471
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 4: Ben Simmons right now, and the Nets don't really have

472
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 4: picks to attack to his contract to make a move.

473
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 4: Kevin Durant possibly, but the Udoka thing really throws a

474
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 4: wrench into things because he was close with Kevin Durant

475
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 4: on the twenty twenty Olympics team. Not to mention, Udoka

476
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 4: coached with with the Nets earlier he finished second in

477
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 4: the runner up to Kenny Atkinson interviewing for the job

478
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 4: with Sean Marx. So like, all of these guys are connected,

479
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 4: Sean Marks, Udoka, and Kevin Durant, which makes me think

480
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 4: if these three all have a previous relationship together, how

481
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 4: is any of them gonna leave right Like? Yeah, so

482
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 4: I don't know this could be the Nets team and

483
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 4: how is this going to be the Nets team for

484
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 4: a whole season?

485
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 2: It's weird, Yeah, And it makes sense that they would

486
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 2: have to stick it out because the value on their

487
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 2: guys just ain't that high, So we'll just try and

488
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 2: get the most out of them. Unless it's Sean Mars,

489
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 2: which would be sort of counterproductive. Somebody else is gonna

490
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 2: come in and save the day. No, here we are.

491
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, let's move on to some other games from

492
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: last night. Jimmy Butler took over late as the heat

493
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: rally passed the Warriors one sixteen one nine. It was

494
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 1: our Pickham game, which we'll get to later. But who

495
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 1: wants to get a started on this on Jimmy and

496
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: the Boys taking down the Warriors? Who are it's going

497
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: under the radar because there's so much other shit happening

498
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: in the league. But Warriors are struggling here. They can't

499
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: win on the road.

500
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 2: They're three and five. Yeah, I only went in home games.

501
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 2: The call that got reversed on Steph Curry was very different.

502
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 2: I'd say I think it was the right call. But

503
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 2: Steph curry first call was fouled on a three point shot,

504
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 2: but then they reviewed it because Miami requested that and

505
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 2: it was deemed for that. Jimmy got a piece of

506
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 2: the ball and then high fived him as the three

507
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 2: point shot went on. Bill Kenny told everybody Jimmy game

508
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 2: a high five, So it's all good.

509
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: Steve Nash is like, oh, I'd love to coach that team, so.

510
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 2: That was strange in the end. Also, some weird calls

511
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 2: on Jordan Poole getting called for the discontinued carry dribble.

512
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 2: You don't see that very often in the NBA that

513
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 2: it's called. You see it happen in the NBA, but

514
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 2: you don't see it called like three times.

515
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 4: Steve kersaid, they sent an email but didn't check my email.

516
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 4: It's game day. That was crazy though. Three carries on

517
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 4: the same player in one game, and they were all carries,

518
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 4: every single one.

519
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 1: It's a carry.

520
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 4: Even the Warriors weren't arguing afterwards, they're like, yeah, that's

521
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 4: a carry, but everybody car Apparently they're calling it now,

522
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 4: so I don't know. To me, that's a carry on

523
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 4: November first and not a carry on December first. I

524
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 4: hate points of emphasis. It's so dumb that we call

525
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,959
Speaker 4: one thing for one month. It frustrates everybody and then

526
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 4: it goes away. It's the dumbest thing most of the time.

527
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you thought the foul was the right call.

528
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got to give a chance for a guy

529
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 2: to block a ball. He blocked the ball, and so

530
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 2: the fallow three didn't matter. In instances where you don't

531
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 2: block the ball, and then there's a high fight that

532
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 2: it's more of a foul because you don't allow for

533
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 2: the follow through. But in this instance, the ball wasn't

534
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 2: going in anyway.

535
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: I don't think the broadcast was showing us a good

536
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 1: replay of Jimmy actually getting the ball.

537
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 2: You know.

538
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: The one we kept showing was like, I did he

539
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,679
Speaker 1: I'm not sure you couldn't tell, so maybe they had

540
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 1: other angles. I assume they did that. They then determined no,

541
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:18,919
Speaker 1: he actually got a piece of it. And then the

542
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 1: fall through was the high five and we're reversing it

543
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 1: and the Heat had the ball. That was a big,

544
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: big player, right. That was a three point game when

545
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: Curry took that. Yeah, yeah, tied it up at the line.

546
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: Probably great fourth.

547
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 2: Quarter for the Heat to turn it on and get

548
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 2: some buckets and get some Jimmy buckets. And Jimmy was

549
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 2: very adamant. Before the game, he talked to the athletic

550
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 2: Sam Amick, saying, listen, we're two and five. We have

551
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 2: to figure out our two new starters. I know everyone's

552
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 2: saying that's the same team, but we do have two

553
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 2: new starters here, and listen, they got it. Together in

554
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter, and it was Jimmy time, and Jimmy

555
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 2: could have taken more shots. Even you know that passed

556
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 2: off to Gabe Vincent, not required, he could have shot that.

557
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 2: But yeah, you got one team training in the other

558
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 2: one direction and the Warriors not being able to play defense.

559
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 2: Is weird. There's not on the same page.

560
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I guess Jimmy did say that they're going

561
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: to go on a seventy four game win streak here, right.

562
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,919
Speaker 2: So yeah, well there seid seventy.

563
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,679
Speaker 1: Okay, so seventy four more wins to go. Yeah, right,

564
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: he said they're gonna be seventy seven to five after

565
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,199
Speaker 1: the slow start. Any thoughts from this one? TK?

566
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Heat went zone in the fourth quarter. They

567
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 4: scored They outscored the Warriors twelve to two in the

568
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 4: last five minutes. And they were also able to keep

569
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 4: Duncan Robinson on the court. He hit three threes in

570
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 4: the fourth quarter. You know, the Miami Heat have to

571
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 4: hit threes, but it can be kind of hard to

572
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 4: keep Duncan Robinson on the court during crunch time because

573
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 4: he's going to be a target defensively. They put him

574
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 4: in zone. The Warriors had no idea how to attack

575
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 4: it so you're able to play Duncan Robinson a lot

576
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 4: more minutes on a night when Tyler Hero wasn't around.

577
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 4: So I thought that was pretty impressive, and it's definitely

578
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 4: something the Warriors will see more of, forcing them to

579
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 4: make decisions and not just letting Curry bail them out.

580
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 4: So definitely something to keep an eye on. And the

581
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 4: heater good in his zone. They're super active, Jimmy up top,

582
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 4: Bam in the lane. That's tough to go against. Also

583
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 4: the Warriors young guys, they're struggle laing right now. Starting

584
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 4: lineup for Golden State all positive, the entire bench all negative.

585
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 4: Miami won the bench battle fifty four to thirty seven.

586
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 4: We already talked about Pool carrying the ball that was

587
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 4: taking him out of rhythm. For sure, he could not

588
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 4: score really last night. But the young guys are They're

589
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 4: not doing very well for the Warriors right now. They're

590
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 4: basically giving up the lead in every single game they play,

591
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 4: and I think that's why they've been losing these games

592
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 4: on the road because the starting lineup is still great.

593
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 4: So it's gonna be weird for Steve Kirk because you

594
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 4: want to stick with the young guys, because you would

595
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 4: love to have some of them developed come playoff time.

596
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 4: It would be awesome if Kuminga or Wiseman could get

597
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 4: into the rotation come playoff time. I think Moody is

598
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 4: the only lock at this point. But you can't lose

599
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 4: all these games in the Western Conference. The standings are

600
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 4: going to be too tight to keep losing three games

601
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 4: in a row if you're willing to just give it

602
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 4: up with your bench. So we'll have to figure out

603
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 4: what they're gonna do, because it ain't working so far

604
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 4: for the Warriors. This two paths thing. It sounds great,

605
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 4: but it's hard to developed the young guys when you're

606
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 4: trying to win games.

607
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, the opposite sort of happening with the Minnesota Timberwolves.

608
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: Their their starting lineup not all that great, their bench,

609
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,679
Speaker 1: you know, keeping them in games, but they lose. Last night,

610
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: Sons win their fifth straight behind Cam Johnson, who was

611
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 1: on fire from deep, and they beat the Wolves one

612
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 1: sixteen to one oh seven. This was the second game

613
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: on TNT last night. I watched this one this morning.

614
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 1: What were your thoughts on this game?

615
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:29,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, Anthony Edwards frustration a little bit, talking about not

616
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 2: being able to get to the rim and a bunch

617
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 2: of guys always being there. He said, you know, when

618
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 2: I get to the rim, he said it over and

619
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 2: over again, there's just there's seven footers everywhere. I'm not

620
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 2: Yiannie Stetkumpo. He said, I can't just go over guys.

621
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 2: And so he's got some frustrations.

622
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: He was.

623
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 2: He was firing the three ball a lot. He took

624
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 2: ten threes in this game in part because I think

625
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 2: he goes into the lane and he was seeing a

626
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 2: jock a Bizmack in there. Landelle and Bismack Byambo who

627
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 2: were bawling. It was interesting to see the Yeah, the

628
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 2: Sun's bench do the sort of the same thing as

629
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,239
Speaker 2: the Warriors did, allow the Wolves to come back, and

630
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 2: then the Suns allowed Devin Booker to sit in the

631
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 2: fourth quarter there and got back with Landry Shammont in

632
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 2: his place and destroyed the Wolves. So this was a

633
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 2: game that watching it, it never felt close. The Sun's

634
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 2: team has it absolutely all together, even though the Wolves

635
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 2: were able to come back there early in the fourth. Yeah,

636
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 2: me and the bench unit.

637
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, Edward hit a couple threes, his second one. It

638
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: was a two point game. Midway through the fourth quarter,

639
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: and then the Timberwolves committed six turnovers in their next

640
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: seven possessions. And I saw a lot of hate from

641
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: Wolves fans last night on Twitter, or I guess I

642
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: should say this morning when I was catching up about

643
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: D'Angelo Russell, this guy's horrible, Like, this guy is bringing nothing,

644
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: and he was bad. He was a minus twenty and

645
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: twenty three minutes. He scored five points on eight field

646
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: goal attempts, four turnovers to four assists. But during that run,

647
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: it wasn't just Russell throwing the way to the ball,

648
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 1: and he had a bad one. Remember, Anthony Edwards had

649
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: a sick block. Russell got it, tried to throw it

650
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: ahead to a streak Edwards and he just threw it

651
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: too far. So it was a bad turnover, but it

652
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: was Carl Anthony Towns chuck the ball out of bounds.

653
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards had a couple brutal turnovers himself, so collectively

654
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 1: they just shot the bed in terms of turning it over.

655
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: And then the Sun's let you know, mainly led by

656
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: Chris Paul like he just like, okay, let's get to

657
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: work here, let's get to the spot. Hit a couple

658
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: of jumpers will end this game along with Cam Johnson

659
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: hitting three after three. Timberwolves are they're just they're they're

660
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: rough to watch their starters again. Their bench is playing

661
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,239
Speaker 1: really well. These guys come in, they change it, they

662
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: get them back in the game. And then the starters

663
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: couldn't hold on the ball last night tray.

664
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 4: The bench passes the ball and they run and they

665
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 4: make plays for each other. That does not happen with

666
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 4: the starting lineup. They need a different point guard to

667
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 4: start with. D'Angelo Russell, fine player, but not a setup man.

668
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 4: And with three guys in Gobert Towns and Anthony Edwards,

669
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 4: you need somebody who's gonna set them up. You don't.

670
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 4: You need a defender set up guy at the point

671
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 4: guard position. So wouldn't be surprised to see Dangelo Russell

672
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 4: go at some point. To me, it feels like Towns

673
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 4: doesn't to be right now, Like his game is totally different.

674
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 4: He's having to make space for go Bear inside, but

675
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 4: when they try and run things out of the high post,

676
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 4: go Bear's inside. Towns at the high post doesn't quite

677
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 4: make sense. I also think the idea of being able

678
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 4: to have any sort of a defense with Karl Anthony

679
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 4: Towns on the court is gonna be tough. Like against

680
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 4: the best teams, they put them in P and R

681
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 4: or they run them around screens and you're getting a

682
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 4: wide open shot. So against the Suns, they're able to

683
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 4: carve them up when he's out there. I don't know

684
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 4: it just Chris Finch said, we've shown no growth so far.

685
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 4: It's still early in the season, but it looks like

686
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 4: still the first game of the season for the Timberwolves.

687
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 4: We'll see if they turn it around. It might be

688
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 4: a next year thing when they finally get the actual,

689
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 4: like perfect fitting pieces together. But I wouldn't be surprised

690
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 4: if they struggle offensively for the entirety of the season,

691
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 4: and then when it comes to playoff time and they're

692
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 4: playing really good teams who can focus, they're gonna have

693
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 4: a hard time on defense as well.

694
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 2: And then there's no growth, not just you know, from

695
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 2: game to game, but from halftime into the third quarter.

696
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 2: They are the worst third quarter team in the NBA,

697
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 2: getting punked by an average of seven points. So that's

698
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 2: the worriest I part. I think he come out of

699
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 2: the locker room. Chris Finch has a plan for them

700
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 2: to you know, the pick and rolls with with D'Angelo Russell,

701
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,479
Speaker 2: and he he gets a little bit, I don't know,

702
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 2: bogged down with the decisions because they're crowding Rudy Gobert

703
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 2: and they're crowding the lane, and then he doesn't want

704
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 2: to pass it, which sort of makes sense, but there

705
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 2: is not any sort of audible there, you know, the

706
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 2: second plan. B and Planc just aren't happening on this

707
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 2: on the offensive end, and Anthony Edwards is able to

708
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 2: create out of nowhere because he's that damn good. But yeah,

709
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 2: they're not fluid on that end whatsoever.

710
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: Final game last night, only four on Shay Gilds Alexander

711
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: thirty four points to help the Thunder push their win

712
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: streak to four.

713
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 2: Oh baby, that's right, Thunder.

714
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: They improved to four and three. Ok see, they have

715
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: a winning record for the first time since nine games

716
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty twenty one season. Here with that

717
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: winning record and my god, sga for asg this guy

718
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: once again amazing thirteen points in the fourth quarter and

719
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: the Thunder rallied against the Magic They round fifteen in

720
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: the second half. Just another monster game from him. Coming

721
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: off the Player of the Week in week two. We

722
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: keep it track this year, continuing to just look honestly unstoppable.

723
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,239
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm he has this the vibe of like

724
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: he's got the perfect pace right now to the game

725
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: and just control and tempo of a game. All Right,

726
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: we need to score here. I'll go get this one.

727
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: Don't worry, you know, I barely. I finally missed a

728
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: free throw that was unfortunate, but otherwise just a perfect game.

729
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 2: He has just rounded out his game so well. He

730
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 2: told The ATHLETICX Andrew Schlecht before the season that he

731
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 2: was working on his off ball play. He's just so

732
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 2: smart out there. You're right, Yeah, Like the pacing, Okay,

733
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 2: I've got a guy on me with a little bit

734
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 2: of space, I'll back him in, create a little bit

735
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 2: more space, and then I'll decide like he's not rushing anything.

736
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 2: It's sort of anti DM Angel Russell right now, Like win,

737
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 2: there's space, I'll take it. And then on the defensive end,

738
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 2: that's where I love watching him too. I mean, he's

739
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 2: he's just so smart. He's playing bigger than he is.

740
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 2: He keeps blocking shots. Two blocks in this game for

741
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 2: a guard averaging one point three blocks. It's rarefied er.

742
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 2: It's getting up there in the Dwayne Wades.

743
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: It's good.

744
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 2: It's getting close to the MJ. It's a little too

745
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 2: far away. But to have a guard be able to

746
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 2: do what he is doing, He's he's not going one

747
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 2: speed on the offensive ends. As we've we've talked about

748
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 2: like John Morant learning that this season, he's he's got

749
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 2: it all under control and they just got to keep

750
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 2: playing the magic and they'll win.

751
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,240
Speaker 1: It helps. It helps, yeah, for sure who they're playing.

752
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: But you would think Sga is left handed if you

753
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:46,800
Speaker 1: watch him, go watch his highlights and you'll be like

754
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,280
Speaker 1: you're you would convince yourself he's left handed because he's

755
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: always going left and he's always dribbling with his left hand.

756
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 1: Of course he shoots right, and team should really start

757
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 1: to try and shade him to his right hand. I

758
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: guess because every time he goes left he scores. It's

759
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: pretty amazing. But what do you think of SGA? I

760
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: know you we talked about his chances for the All

761
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 1: Star Game earlier this week. We went through all the

762
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 1: guards it'll have to battle. You know, there's four locks,

763
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: we said Luca John Moran, Curry and Booker, and then

764
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 1: there's a two or three spots and we think right

765
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 1: now he's got one of them. But any thoughts from

766
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:18,800
Speaker 1: this game.

767
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 4: He's at the MVAP table right now.

768
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:20,399
Speaker 2: Hello.

769
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 4: Not a joke, he definitely is. They have won four straight.

770
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 4: And look at what he did last night, down by one,

771
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 4: three forty two left, hits a jumper, assists on a

772
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,879
Speaker 4: bucket from Poku, hits a jumper, assists on a three

773
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:33,800
Speaker 4: pointer from lou Dort, and hits two free throws to

774
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,479
Speaker 4: seal it. You're also mentioning the defense. He was great

775
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 4: against Franz Wagner, especially in the fourth quarter, held him

776
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 4: to two for seven, two turnovers. He's doing everything out there,

777
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 4: there's no doubt about it. So yeah, Shay's ballin uh

778
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 4: and maybe it's a little bit of catching teams by surprise.

779
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 4: But the Thunder play really, really hard and it got

780
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 4: some weird shaped guys who contribute and play on the

781
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 4: defensive end, so they got a chance.

782
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: It's nice to have Poku going against bull Bowl last night.

783
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,959
Speaker 4: Wow, that's freaking man's crazy looking.

784
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Punk it was good sixteen and nine for him,

785
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: like a really good hit a big big three when

786
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: they like this was not blowing as we went through.

787
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 1: That was huge giddy return for for the Thunder. He

788
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: had tennis cists struggle shooting the ball. Jayalen Williams got

789
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: his first start for them, j r. E great energy,

790
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:20,280
Speaker 1: this scrappy bunch.

791
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 2: Absolutely Yeah, I wouldn't mind starting the SGA for MVP.

792
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 2: Little tag. I don't know, you know, won't it won't

793
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:27,320
Speaker 2: last forever?

794
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, he'll have the week of being at the MVP.

795
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 4: That's right.

796
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's good because the meal.

797
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: Whoa there replaced Lely in the turtle neck really good

798
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 1: Jerome and turtle neck. Yeah, you should get a turtle

799
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: That's the MVP table for anyone new to the show

800
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,919
Speaker 1: this year. Pizza and Drake.

801
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 4: Why we got to make sure to grow up for

802
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 4: a group dinner when Jerome take a new photo.

803
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 1: That's a good idea, All right, SGAs at the table.

804
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with that.

805
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: Any other thoughts on any of these games from last night, guys.

806
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 4: I mean you mentioned that real quickly. But Poku versus Bowl,

807
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 4: this is honestly incredible. Sixteen and nine for Poku last night,

808
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 4: and bow Bowl went for thirteen and twelve, Like, I

809
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 4: don't know if they both had a good game on

810
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 4: the same night at all. Yeah, maybe their entire career

811
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 4: where they both had a great game scored in double digits.

812
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 4: But this happened in the same game and they were

813
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 4: actually matched up with each other. That looked like we

814
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 4: were watching the NBA from thirteen years from Yeah, when

815
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 4: everybody's seven foot two, one hundred and fifty pis.

816
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: I joked that it looked like the number eleven out there,

817
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 1: just two stick guys balling going against each other. Good,

818
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: good game, fun game there from the Magic Thunder. Go

819
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: check the highlights if you haven't already. All right, we're

823
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 1: I'm a book editor, so that No Dunk's grammarly subscription

824
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 1: was noise for me, all right, And Jules is a

Speaker 1: Com or tweet them in at No Dunks Inc. That's

830
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 1: I n C on the end because we're incorporated first one.

831
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:42,840
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. Hey, No Dunkritos. My girlfriend and I

832
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,320
Speaker 1: live in London and are visiting New York in December

833
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 1: for five days. We have never been to an NBA

834
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 1: game and are super excited. My question to you guys

835
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: is which game should we try and get tickets for

836
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: Nets versus the Celtics on Sunday, December fourth, or NIX

837
00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:01,439
Speaker 1: versus the Hawks on Wednesday, December seventh. Initially I thought

838
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: it was a no brainer. Chance to see Katie and

839
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: Tatum would be incredible, But the more I think about it,

840
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden is the mecca of basketball and the

841
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: atmosphere will surely be better, especially with the recent rivalry

842
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 1: between Trey and the Knicks. We only have a few

843
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 1: days in New York, so going to both games isn't

844
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: really an option. Turnip Turkey thighs blossom. That's from Daniel

845
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: all the way over in Ireland.

846
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 2: I love this. This is great. It's almost a year

847
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 2: to the day. It's basically a thirteen and a half

848
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 2: month twelve and a half month. Sorry to the day

849
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 2: where we got this very very very very similar email. Okay,

850
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 2: somebody was going to New York in February of last season.

851
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 2: The Knicks and the Nets were playing on the same day,

852
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 2: so he had to make a decision. Do I go

853
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 2: see the Knicks versus Oka see or do I go

854
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:55,399
Speaker 2: see the Nets host the Kings. I remember this, yes, yes, yes,

855
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 2: I remember.

856
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,879
Speaker 1: What I was arguing for. Yeah, you was it since

857
00:39:58,880 --> 00:39:59,399
Speaker 1: Square Garden?

858
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think.

859
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 1: It ended up being the correct is.

860
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 2: The correct, There's no doubt about it. They played an

861
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 2: ot game versus Okay, see right, okay, see it was ballin'

862
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 2: you know, some giddy's giddy performances out there, while the

863
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 2: Nets host of the Kings. No Kyrie, no Durant. And

864
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 2: that's why I said the Nets last year as well.

865
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 2: But this is what you have no choice now, you

866
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 2: got no choice you have you have to go to

867
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 2: the Knicks or else you're gonna see a game without

868
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 2: an atmosphere. As as we've talked about with the Brooklyn

869
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 2: Nets earlier in the show, that you don't know if

870
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 2: any of those guys will be playing. No, you don't

871
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 2: know what the team is going to be comprised of

872
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 2: at least what the next You know that you're gonna

873
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 2: get you a decent perform, You're gonna get the atmosphere,

874
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 2: and you're gonna get Trey Young who is actually going

875
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,720
Speaker 2: to Madison Square Garden tonight. The Hawks play in Madison

876
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 2: Square tonight. So get a little preview tonight before you

877
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 2: before you click, click and make your decision. You got it,

878
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 2: gotta go.

879
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: I guess those December seventh tickets say, well, what about

880
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 1: the you don't factor of this all? What Celtics taken

881
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:08,839
Speaker 1: on their old coach possibility on December fourth? You don't

882
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:10,959
Speaker 1: think they get up for that. It's such a hard

883
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: ass on, Daniel.

884
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,320
Speaker 4: Daniel loves coaches. He loves it, He loves loves the

885
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 4: coaching revenge game tasses right though, Like this was a

886
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:20,919
Speaker 4: discussion last year. We really had a debate last year.

887
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 4: It was two two kind of stinky games, a couple

888
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 4: of stinker riskies. Here. These are a better choice of games,

889
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 4: no doubt about it. But there's no way you're going

890
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 4: to Nets versus Celtics. Come on, come on, Daniel, just

891
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,720
Speaker 4: go see the Knicks versus the Hawks. Enjoy yourself.

892
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: You absolutely should, especially if you have never been to

893
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 1: Massive Square Garden. You will not be telling all your

894
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 1: friends back home in Ireland about going to the Barclay Center.

895
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 1: I can assure you that.

896
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 2: Great food options, great food options.

897
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 1: You know.

898
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 2: It's I can't believe. I argued for Nets Kings last

899
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 2: year over the NIXT game against Okay See, and now

900
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 2: it's Nets Celtics, the team that went to the NBA Finals,

901
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 2: And it's an easy decision to pick the Knicks versus

902
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 2: the Hawks. That's how far things have fallen.

903
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: Was that the podcast where you were going on and

904
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 1: on about the acoustics in the Barclays.

905
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:13,839
Speaker 2: Center, Yeah, that was one of many of many. Yeah,

906
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,240
Speaker 2: because I love the acoustics or I hate them. Actually

907
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:19,320
Speaker 2: I hate them. Yeah, I decided I hate them. They're

908
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 2: too good.

909
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 4: That's a reason to go to Barclays to get your

910
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 4: own opinion, with your own ears.

911
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 2: Go see a concert. That's what the acoustics are meant for.

912
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:30,320
Speaker 2: While you're in New York. Here here's your decision. Nick's

913
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 2: versus Hawks and Lady.

914
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 1: Gaga at the Park Place cool cool for a week. Yeah,

915
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 1: you got a lot of time, all right. We settled

916
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 1: that you're going to msg, get your tickets. Next one

917
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 1: here from Ryan Ao basketball Sickos. My cousin recently had

918
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: a baby and named him Grayson. I've taken to call

919
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 1: you have little Grayson Allen, and we are both Bulls fans,

920
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 1: and he hates I think I guess that'll stop doing

921
00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 1: it to be nice. But anyway, the question is, do

922
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,240
Speaker 1: you guys have any stories of nicknames that you knew

923
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: the person absolutely hated but continued to say it anyway.

924
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 1: It's from Ryan. I mean that is a little grace. Yeah,

925
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,959
Speaker 1: that's so. That's low, especially being a Bulls.

926
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 4: Fan and saying that, but sounds like his his buddy's

927
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:18,759
Speaker 4: not really a Bulls fan or his cousin in.

928
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 1: Naming him Grayson.

929
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 4: No way, no way, not if it's a reason Grayson

930
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:24,880
Speaker 4: Allen just lit up the Bulls in the playoffs.

931
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:27,400
Speaker 1: For me, it's a nickname.

932
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 4: I'm not actually sure if the person hates this, but

933
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 4: we've kept using it. Probably like a decade ago, we

934
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 4: had a bachelor party and one of our friends just

935
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 4: detached from the group, played at night. Didn't see him

936
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 4: until the next morning when he told us he went

937
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 4: to a strip club by himself and spent five hundred

938
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:44,280
Speaker 4: and fifty dollars.

939
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 2: Whoa.

940
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 4: So we've called him five fifty ever since then to

941
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 4: this very day. If you see five point fifty just

942
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 4: out and about in any environment, take a picture, send

943
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 4: it along five point fifty. I love it. Awesome, dude,

944
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 4: it was a great night. That's my five fifty impersonation.

945
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 4: You guys like you guys have been. Yeah, he had

946
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 4: a terrible showing at a Toronto pickup game we went

947
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 4: to once. I had one big old boy who was

948
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 4: scoring buckets left and right, and one big old boy

949
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 4: who was hitting shots off the side of the glass.

950
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 1: That sounds vaguely he likes the party. He's a great hang, good.

951
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 4: Guy, fifty.

952
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:33,760
Speaker 2: Precise dollar five fifty exactly.

953
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 1: He's only getting one hundreds out of the ATM, so

954
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: he had to get changed. Yeah, what do you got

955
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:42,359
Speaker 1: anything here? Good?

956
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 4: Uh?

957
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 1: Or a nickname story? I guess we're looking for m Well.

958
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:50,839
Speaker 2: I was never a nicknamed myself tassy. It was never

959
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 2: just the tassy thing came from just reminded me of

960
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 2: watching or looking at our old pizza MVP table. Lee

961
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 2: gave it to me once upon a time and it stuck. Yeah,

962
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 2: I didn't love it. At first, but yeah, it's stuck.

963
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 2: It's decent. I don't hate it. But now Jerome is

964
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:08,720
Speaker 2: gonna have to give me a new nickname.

965
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,439
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, so we'll.

966
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 2: See in a couple of weeks when he comes down.

967
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:15,319
Speaker 1: Am I am? I like making this up in my

968
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 1: head or like your daughter at one point was calling

969
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 1: you tassy for like a for like a week, which

970
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 1: is so cute.

971
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,720
Speaker 2: For sure, for sure, it's a good one.

972
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 1: That's Lee's move though, just out of why yeah, to

973
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 1: everybody's name and stuff like that. Right, I have a

974
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 1: good story about this, and it actually, like I was

975
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:37,240
Speaker 1: reminded of it recently. I think it was Russ Bankston

976
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 1: on Twitter and nowhere tweeted from now on, I'm going

977
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 1: to only call Luke Canard Nard Dog. And then people

978
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 1: started adding us because we've been calling Luke Canard Nard

979
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 1: dog for a while, and so it's like, oh yeah,

980
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: we've been saying that for a while. And I replied

981
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:54,280
Speaker 1: to him, it's like, oh yeah, Nard Dog. That nickname

982
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:57,839
Speaker 1: has been in my life for like twenty five years

983
00:45:57,840 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 1: because I went to school with a guy named Lingard

984
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:04,319
Speaker 1: that we called Nard Dog. And then somebody responded to

985
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 1: me and I had never thought about it. So we

986
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 1: call a guy named ling Guard Nard Dog, And they said,

987
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:16,760
Speaker 1: why didn't you call him guard dog? Yes, I don't know,

988
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 1: and I had no answer for I had never even

989
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 1: thought about it in twenty five years. It's guard ling guard.

990
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't we call him guard dog not nrd dog.

991
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 4: I'm willing to guess that when the nickname was created,

992
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 4: it was in the arrow where nerds was a funny word.

993
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: I guess, so, I guess so. I mean we called

994
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 1: him nardo for sure, that was a version of it.

995
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:41,359
Speaker 4: But yeah, people don't call your nuts nerds as much

996
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 4: anymore these days. I think it's fallen out of favor somehow.

997
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, right, yeah right, yeah. If you google it

998
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 2: and you see the usage over time, it's probably dropped off.

999
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 4: I think.

1000
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:56,799
Speaker 1: So, yeah, you think about Chris. Yeah, I'm talking. This

1001
00:46:56,840 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 1: is high school, so like mid to late nineties, Nard

1002
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 1: would have been peak peak nerd. Okay, let's go to

1003
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 1: our next one here, good ay, dunk a use in

1004
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 1: a League of Giants. Everyone is too small now. Johannis

1005
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 1: called Ben Simmons too small, even Tyler Hero, who I

1006
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 1: believe is forty five centimeters tall, it's a weird thing

1007
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 1: to put in an email, was calling his opponents too small.

1008
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:31,439
Speaker 1: The gesture is everywhere. We've seen other celebrations go around

1009
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:33,280
Speaker 1: the league, all the way back to the glorious summer

1010
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 1: of the Big Balls Dance, or as we liked it

1011
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:41,800
Speaker 1: to call it, the Nerd Shuffle. I had that big Suffle.

1012
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 1: My question to you is this, what's the next celebration

1013
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:46,720
Speaker 1: that's going to take off around the league? Too Small

1014
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 1: Rock the Baby Big Balls. That's from James Callie Coley.

1015
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean everybody is doing too Small very popular.

1016
00:47:56,880 --> 00:48:00,839
Speaker 4: I like it totally. Yes, I think it's funny both ways.

1017
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 4: I think it's funny when a guy who's bigger than

1018
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:05,359
Speaker 4: the smaller guy says you're too small factual, and then

1019
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 4: also funny when the guy who's smaller says the big

1020
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:10,400
Speaker 4: guy's too small. Gods, it's funny. So I like it

1021
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:14,360
Speaker 4: both ways. It's hard to figure out what celebration is

1022
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:16,840
Speaker 4: going to be cool. Kids have to come up with

1023
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:18,760
Speaker 4: it right, like it has to be a young person.

1024
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 4: So I asked my kids, what what did kids do

1025
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 4: to celebrate that something happen to your school goes? Uh,

1026
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:29,399
Speaker 4: you know, Femmi got awarded something and he just went,

1027
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:40,880
Speaker 4: so that's a potential one.

1028
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 1: Nickname, a real name. That's a cool name.

1029
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:44,360
Speaker 4: I believe it's a nickname. Actually, Okay, yeah.

1030
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 2: Okay, I can't miss. I think that'll translate.

1031
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 4: So it's either that or this clip I saw over

1032
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 4: the summer of people shooting three pointers down at the

1033
00:48:56,600 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 4: park and the follow through to put your arm around

1034
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:01,279
Speaker 4: on the guy's shoulders.

1035
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 1: I love this.

1036
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 4: You would get so mad.

1037
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 1: It's so disrespectful, but it's so funny.

1038
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 2: Like you said, Trey Young doing that, of course exactly,

1039
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 2: you could see him doing that. You could see well

1040
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 2: Ball doing that. Yeah, exactly like that.

1041
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hope that catches on and yeah there'd be

1042
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 1: some pushing going on there.

1043
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:32,880
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. The only downside from that is that you

1044
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:37,359
Speaker 2: need a defender right in front of you, and it's

1045
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 2: it's gotta be like a long shot, like you're not

1046
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 2: lay up. It got to be it's got to be

1047
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:43,239
Speaker 2: a three.

1048
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:45,239
Speaker 1: And this guy turns around to sort of see the ball.

1049
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 2: That's gonna start some fights. But it's too good. It

1050
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:49,359
Speaker 2: is really really good.

1051
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 1: Do you have any other ones celebrations you'd like to

1052
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 1: hopefully see somebody try out maybe it's.

1053
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know that's that's actually what I was going

1054
00:49:56,560 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 2: to go with that. It's funny because every every child

1055
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 2: does that, so got roll with it.

1056
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 1: All right, let's hear from everybody out there. That's a

1057
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:09,840
Speaker 1: fun question for you guys to chime in there in

1058
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:13,759
Speaker 1: the stream, team people are saying, just give him a hug. Sure,

1059
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:15,360
Speaker 1: that's sort of what the person is doing, putting the

1060
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 1: arm around him. All right, final one, Hey dunk Chino's.

1061
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 1: The other day, my wife suddenly realized there was something

1062
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 1: I did that annoyed her. She could never put her

1063
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:26,840
Speaker 1: finger on it in the past, but as it happened,

1064
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:31,320
Speaker 1: she recognized that apparently I only opened doors far enough

1065
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:35,840
Speaker 1: for me to go through. I can only imagine the

1066
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 1: great belief that coursed through her body as years of

1067
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 1: tension released upon understanding this dark secret. The tension instantly

1068
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:46,440
Speaker 1: returned when she had to open the door another few inches.

1069
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 1: But we discussed it, and I apologized for myficient door

1070
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 1: and muscle usage. So what is something What is something

1071
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:58,799
Speaker 1: crazy that your wise family or friends have complained about

1072
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 1: that you unconscious do upturn guys you love some awe

1073
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 1: this get ready everybody come on back. JD is from

1074
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 1: Brent Ferrari from Room. So a good question from Brent.

1075
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 2: It's great. I saved this one for a while because

1076
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 2: I loved it.

1077
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:17,399
Speaker 1: Been sitting on this one.

1078
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 2: I've been sitting. Yeah, I you know you do that

1079
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 2: from time to time, right where you don't whip a

1080
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 2: door open, you just just I do it.

1081
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:27,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I probably do it. I don't even realize.

1082
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:30,239
Speaker 2: I do it just enough so I can slip in.

1083
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:34,000
Speaker 2: I mean it. Also, it's it's a little exhilarating. Am

1084
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:35,240
Speaker 2: I going to get hit by the door?

1085
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 1: Oh so you meet a door that closes on itself.

1086
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:41,279
Speaker 2: It's a heavy door. If it's a heavy door, yeah,

1087
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 2: can I can? I beat it? So fun? So I did.

1088
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 2: I did like this email, very very good. So I

1089
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:50,759
Speaker 2: asked my wife if only I could show you the

1090
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:55,440
Speaker 2: scripture that she sent back with things that I mean

1091
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 2: a couple that I think yesterday she banged her ankle

1092
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 2: on the open dishwasher that I I always leave the

1093
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:03,319
Speaker 2: dishwasher open because there's always more dishes to come. It's

1094
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:05,840
Speaker 2: always more dis dangerous. Just get it over with, Just

1095
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:08,879
Speaker 2: close it. You have a child come by, might take

1096
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:12,480
Speaker 2: a head off fine, So that's there was that one?

1097
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 2: What was the other one? She said? She said before dinner.

1098
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 2: She wants the kids to eat. I guess at dinner.

1099
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:19,759
Speaker 2: So she hates when I'm when I when I go

1100
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 2: off into the pantry and I'm snacking pre dinner and

1101
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 2: because it's sort of snacking in the pantry is our

00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:27,880
Speaker 2: fun post dinner things?

1103
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:32,960
Speaker 1: Snacking in the pantry by Alan Jackson.

00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 4: Like a decade.

1110
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:53,080
Speaker 2: I didn't know that really, all.

1111
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:57,360
Speaker 4: Star closer, maybe Tug.

1112
00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 2: I'm not what was he tugging on? I don't know,

1113
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:02,440
Speaker 2: tugging on the bag? I guess, I don't know.

1114
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 1: I'm tugging Tim Tug of the McGrath's coming over, tugging

1115
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:08,680
Speaker 1: Tim coming by later.

1116
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:15,040
Speaker 2: Anyway. Born Frank nicknamed Tug played in the league for

1117
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:15,400
Speaker 2: a long time.

1118
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:17,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, good nickname story. You couldn't used that for that one.

1119
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:20,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, well why is he Why is he nicknamed Tug?

1120
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:22,600
Speaker 1: It could be a million reasons.

1121
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:29,719
Speaker 2: What do you think interesting caught jerking.

1122
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 1: Tugging at the wrong time. Hey, that's tug from now.

1123
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:38,840
Speaker 2: McGraw got the nickname tug from his mother. Actually wow,

1124
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:46,239
Speaker 2: because of the particularly aggressive way he breastfed dog. I'm

1125
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 2: not making this up. Uh geez, tugging it's a little

1126
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:55,919
Speaker 2: that's a little too much, too much.

1127
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:02,160
Speaker 1: Am I from Move Forward? Being honest? She added that

1128
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 1: to the Wicked page.

1129
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 4: I gotta make sure people know.

1130
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:10,799
Speaker 1: Okay, good answers. What do you have for this, Trey.

1131
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:13,719
Speaker 1: What's something you do or maybe Laura, your wife or

1132
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 1: family friends complain about you. You probably do unconsciously.

1133
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1134
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:20,240
Speaker 4: I also asked Laura, and it took her zero seconds

1135
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 4: to respond, clicking your teeth while you fall asleep? I

1136
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 4: was like what.

1137
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:30,400
Speaker 1: She said.

1138
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 4: As soon as she's like, I can tell when you're

1139
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:39,560
Speaker 4: falling asleep because you start going, you start breathing, I

1140
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:42,439
Speaker 4: was like, oh, boy, boy, I guess I'll never fall

1141
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 4: asleep for the rest of my life. Clicking my teeth

1142
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 4: sleeping like this from now on.

1143
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 2: The chompers, that's a crazy sound. Do it again.

1144
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:57,120
Speaker 4: I'm looking tired.

1145
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:03,279
Speaker 1: I hope that's coming through it. You can sell your

1146
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 1: podcast listeners. Yeah, good, good, good answers. I mean you

1147
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:10,840
Speaker 1: guys probably would even agree with my wife Nora on

1148
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 1: this one. What I do is, uh, I hear a

1149
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:16,800
Speaker 1: song on the radio, Trey plays it on his computer

1150
00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:20,560
Speaker 1: before the show, wherever I absorb a song, and then

1151
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:24,200
Speaker 1: I will recite not the entire song, of course, just

1152
00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:27,600
Speaker 1: like one or two lyrics of that song all day long.

1153
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:31,440
Speaker 1: And I don't even know I'm doing it, and it

1154
00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 1: drives Nora insane, Like I get told all the time,

1155
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:39,040
Speaker 1: like stop it, and like like I think I should

1156
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:40,720
Speaker 1: be allowed to do it like three or four times

1157
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:42,799
Speaker 1: and then be told to stop it. But she'll now,

1158
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 1: like you know, the first time she knows, it's gonna

1159
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 1: be like seven hundred times. Yeah, it could be any song,

1160
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 1: but I do that, and uh, yeah it's bad thriller

1161
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:53,439
Speaker 1: yesterday thriller I was doing Yeah because of you as

1162
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:56,360
Speaker 1: the meat man. Yeah, that's true. It doesn't even be lyrics,

1163
00:55:57,800 --> 00:55:59,759
Speaker 1: hum a little bassline every once in a while. J

1164
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 1: are you going to answer to this one?

1165
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:02,640
Speaker 4: Yuh?

1166
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:07,280
Speaker 3: Brent? First of all, way to throw a grenade into

1167
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:11,799
Speaker 3: my morning here, because yeah, I asked Rachel, Uh, you know,

1168
00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:15,279
Speaker 3: is there anything I do that unconsciously. She had to

1169
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:18,400
Speaker 3: think about it and then she came up with it,

1170
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:20,799
Speaker 3: and then it just turned into a thing, right because

1171
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:23,640
Speaker 3: I'm like, what what is it? So the thing is

1172
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:27,040
Speaker 3: that I do is I will when I'm sitting on

1173
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:29,759
Speaker 3: the couch, I will set whatever I'm drinking on the

1174
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:35,279
Speaker 3: cushion next to me, like unattended. I'm like, that's not unconscious,

1175
00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:38,640
Speaker 3: it's a calculated risk. And that was not the thing

1176
00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:42,360
Speaker 3: to say. But because Lincoln doesn't do it too apparently,

1177
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:45,359
Speaker 3: and any kind of glass like stemware, like I'll put

1178
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:48,040
Speaker 3: a wine on.

1179
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:49,759
Speaker 1: The slightest movement that I know.

1180
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:51,759
Speaker 3: But I like the challenge of it.

1181
00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:55,839
Speaker 1: And I assume you have a coffee table or like.

1182
00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:58,600
Speaker 3: A literally right in front of me, but I like

1183
00:56:58,640 --> 00:56:59,440
Speaker 3: having it next to me.

1184
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:03,520
Speaker 1: Okay, So yeah, And you were then arguing about it

1185
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 1: all morning.

1186
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 3: Your wife left, well she luckily pickleball started, so she laughed.

1187
00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 1: So cool. All right, great questions, guys, got us off

1188
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:16,840
Speaker 1: on some fun tangents there. Send them in can be

1189
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:19,000
Speaker 1: NBA related or not, as you can tell to No

1190
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:21,000
Speaker 1: Dunks at the Athletic dot Com or tweet them in

1191
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 1: at No Dunks. Think we'll take our final break and

1192
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:24,280
Speaker 1: when we come back pick them results and tweeted the

1193
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:27,160
Speaker 1: Knights all right back with the boys here in the

1194
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:30,880
Speaker 1: Classic Factory. Tasks start in the month of November in style.

1195
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:33,919
Speaker 1: When it comes to last night's Pickham game, Warriors were

1196
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:36,880
Speaker 1: favorites on the road in Miami by one and a

1197
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:39,720
Speaker 1: half point small line, Bud the heat. They obviously cover

1198
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:42,000
Speaker 1: because they won, So that's a win for task. He's

1199
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:43,920
Speaker 1: one to o in November. Trey and I took the

1200
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:45,280
Speaker 1: l what's tonight's game?

1201
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 2: There's eleven on Baby Classic Wednesday Nights GED and some

1202
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:52,200
Speaker 2: real good ones. As we mentioned, Tree Young visiting MSG,

1203
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,920
Speaker 2: the six and two Jazz visiting Luca, the Grizzlies and

1204
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:59,560
Speaker 2: the Blazers. The second game on ESPN Anthony Davis visit

1205
00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:02,560
Speaker 2: or hosting his old team. Pelican's going against the Lakers.

1206
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:04,760
Speaker 2: But I'm going with the first game on ESPN because

1207
00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:06,720
Speaker 2: we had a doozy on Friday night if you remember,

1208
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:10,800
Speaker 2: between Boston and Cleveland to forty point performances from the

1209
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 2: Caves and Lebert Donovan. So let's do it again. This

1210
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:19,320
Speaker 2: time the Calves at home instead of in Boston and

1211
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:21,120
Speaker 2: they get a one and a half points. You're basically

1212
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 2: picking the winner. Skeets and myself think Boston will get

1213
00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:27,120
Speaker 2: a little revenge, yea. I tend to think, yeah, that's

1214
00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:30,720
Speaker 2: what I'm thinking here. It's a good team. But man Calves,

1215
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:32,040
Speaker 2: man got the Calves.

1216
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:35,280
Speaker 1: Who hoo? Kevin Love gonna hit you know? Eight eighty

1217
00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:37,480
Speaker 1: three Dean Wade?

1218
00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 2: Did Dean tell you that Terius Garland's looking.

1219
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:42,760
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, not playing though right in practice?

1220
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:45,800
Speaker 2: I think he has been playing and ready it seems

1221
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 2: ready to go and practice, but I don't think he's

1222
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:49,920
Speaker 2: got to go ahead quite yet with the eye injury.

1223
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:52,520
Speaker 1: All right, So Trey has Cleveland, same line as last night,

1224
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:55,880
Speaker 1: the home dog. Then plus one and a half test

1225
00:58:55,960 --> 00:59:01,680
Speaker 1: and I have the Celtics. Good luck to everybody, really

1226
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:04,960
Speaker 1: only good luck to Boston and to you and met you.

1227
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:08,200
Speaker 1: I don't need it, damn you feel not good about this, But.

1228
00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:09,680
Speaker 4: I got one and a half points to play with.

1229
00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:13,800
Speaker 4: Good luck to Boston winning by exactly That's right.

1230

1241
00:59:57,680 --> 01:00:01,120
Speaker 2: It's got some old the Brooklyn Night vibes if you

1242
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:04,000
Speaker 2: remember the Brooklyn Night from a decade ago or so,

1243
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 2: you know, it's got the sort of the metal helmet

1244
01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 2: superhero superhero look, but not that super you know. I

1245
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:14,440
Speaker 2: guess he's got a bigger helmet than the other Power Rangers.

1246
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 2: Nice little photoshop here, MAVs Moneyball or what MAVs Man

1247
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:20,360
Speaker 2: were calling him?

1248
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:22,440
Speaker 1: Right, his name is MAVs Man because there used to

1249
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:26,000
Speaker 1: be a MAVs Man that was even well, well creepier

1250
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:28,920
Speaker 1: for sure. There he is, that's him on the left,

1251
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:30,720
Speaker 1: the og MAVs Man.

1252
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:34,880
Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh, there's the Brooklyn Night in the middle. TBD.

1253
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:39,080
Speaker 2: Who's gonna win this? Bat? Well?

1254
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:43,200
Speaker 1: How was really like? I like to think, Uh, I

1255
01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:44,960
Speaker 1: have my finger on the pulse of what's happening in

1256
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:48,200
Speaker 1: the NBA. But this like's I don't know, like slip

1257
01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:50,600
Speaker 1: by everybody, or at least it's slipped by us here in

1258
01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:55,439
Speaker 1: the Classic Factory. This was announced in like at least

1259
01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:56,040
Speaker 1: a week ago.

1260
01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:58,400
Speaker 2: Oh, I thought it was longer and no.

1261
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:00,680
Speaker 1: And you know it's on the Dallas Mall official site.

1262
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:02,400
Speaker 1: It's there. I went and checked, like, you know, there's

1263
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 1: the new MAVs Man, his little backstory, his stats, which

1264
01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:10,120
Speaker 1: is really weird. But like why, I guess they were like,

1265
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:12,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, did they just like release They were like,

1266
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:13,480
Speaker 1: all right, we're doing a new mas Man and then

1267
01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:15,120
Speaker 1: they're like, okay, just like just put it out there

1268
01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 1: and see if anybody notices.

1269
01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:19,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so. I'm not even just trying to

1270
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:21,880
Speaker 4: rebrand him because they talk about him being around since

1271
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:24,920
Speaker 4: nineteen ninety six, you know, back when he was basketball

1272
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:28,840
Speaker 4: MAVs Man. Yeah, covered in basketball prints. So yeah, they're

1273
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:30,480
Speaker 4: just trying to they're just trying to sneak him in here.

1274
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:33,240
Speaker 4: They're just trying to sneak MAVs Man into his new costume.

1275
01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:35,400
Speaker 4: I think it's hilarious. He's wearing shorts.

1276
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:38,000
Speaker 1: It's very funny to me that he's wearing shorts and

1277
01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:38,920
Speaker 1: basketball shoes.

1278
01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:43,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, Jordan's no doubt. Yeah, he's got Jordan's teens.

1279
01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:46,919
Speaker 2: But you're a superhero, like top to bottom, you should

1280
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:49,240
Speaker 2: be a superhero superhero boots like Ironman.

1281
01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:49,520
Speaker 1: Foots, I think.

1282
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:50,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1283
01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:52,200
Speaker 1: And I saw somebody in the stream team, Hey what,

1284
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:54,320
Speaker 1: I thought they had a horse for their mascot. They do,

1285
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:57,120
Speaker 1: that's Champ. Yeah, it's one of these organizations that has

1286
01:01:57,280 --> 01:02:01,440
Speaker 1: two mascots. Got Champ the horse mascot, and you've had

1287
01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:03,479
Speaker 1: MAVs Man for a long time. He's like the high

1288
01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 1: flying guy doing all the dunks. Really, I hadn't really

1289
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:11,000
Speaker 1: ever realized until I was looking at a recent photo

1290
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:14,040
Speaker 1: of the old mass Man. It's got the human eyes

1291
01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:18,080
Speaker 1: because it's like obviously, hey spoiler, it's a human inside.

1292
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:20,880
Speaker 1: But you got the human eyes coming through the mask

1293
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:22,400
Speaker 1: of the og math man. That's why I think they

1294
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:24,000
Speaker 1: put a helmet on him. And I think he was

1295
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:27,760
Speaker 1: probably creeping out kids and stuff, yeah, and adults like myself.

1296
01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:30,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're going the road of the Calves as well,

1297
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:37,560
Speaker 2: who have a man mascot just trying to I think they.

1298
01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:42,640
Speaker 1: Like to have lovable goofy big mascot and then hey,

1299
01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:45,320
Speaker 1: look it would be great if we could throwing down

1300
01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:48,400
Speaker 1: some dunks and doing some flips an acrobatic things. So

1301
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:49,840
Speaker 1: we need the other version too.

1302
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:54,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, and do the things that a mascot can can't do.

1303
01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:57,800
Speaker 2: Hundred pounds suit yeah, yeah, maybe a tensome functions, just

1304
01:02:57,840 --> 01:03:02,760
Speaker 2: more as a man, you gotta think of everything. So yeah,

1305
01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:06,160
Speaker 2: they're really trying to connect with the regular Joe Schmoe

1306
01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:09,280
Speaker 2: there that doesn't like superheroes, right, it doesn't like mascots.

1307
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:12,440
Speaker 4: There's a full comic on here on the maps website

1308
01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:14,240
Speaker 4: how he came, like, how he morphed into this?

1309
01:03:14,880 --> 01:03:15,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, there might morph.

1310
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:21,120
Speaker 4: I mean you're going from MAVs kid, an actual kid

1311
01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 4: with actual skin, to touching a glowing orange basketball which

1312
01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:28,360
Speaker 4: turned him into basketball MAVs Man. And he finds a

1313
01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:31,400
Speaker 4: glowing blue basketball which turns him into Blue mAbs Man.

1314
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:33,120
Speaker 4: This is the full saga here.

1315
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:37,320
Speaker 1: So blue balls turned the og MAVs Man into this

1316
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:39,320
Speaker 1: MAVs Man. What a story.

1317
01:03:40,520 --> 01:03:43,360
Speaker 2: We gotta do a reading of this dramatic reading of

1318
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:47,160
Speaker 2: the MAVs Man origin story YouTube.

1319
01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:50,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, put it in the notes. All right, let's

Speaker 2: finger on the pulls.

1324
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:03,360
Speaker 1: I thought I did, That's what I'm saying. I thought

1325
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:05,400
Speaker 1: I did task. I thought I was the zach Low

1326
01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:08,520
Speaker 1: of it all. Know in the courts, know one the colors,

1327
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:11,200
Speaker 1: know in the mascots, know in the league, past teams.

1328
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:14,000
Speaker 1: But this, Yeah, I didn't know until I saw this

1329
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:17,720
Speaker 1: tweet going around. I think esp Nation uh wrote a

1330
01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:19,560
Speaker 1: story on it, like what the hell was I thought

1331
01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:21,479
Speaker 1: it was fake. I thought it was like a joke

1332
01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:24,480
Speaker 1: at first, but nope, it's a new mass Man.

1333
01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:27,800
Speaker 2: And it was in October there it was released that

1334
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:31,240
Speaker 2: Rocky the Nuggets mascot is the highest paid mascot.

1335
01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:33,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, So.

1336
01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:39,720
Speaker 2: We know the salaries. Harry the Hawk was second. Wow,

1337
01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:41,080
Speaker 2: and then a huge drop off.

1338
01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:44,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's.

1339
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:47,040
Speaker 2: The Raptors basically making like five digits. Apparently according to

1340
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:50,120
Speaker 2: that last they get to keep the costume.

1341
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:53,680
Speaker 1: So Rocky's making six diggitis mill.

1342
01:04:54,240 --> 01:04:56,200
Speaker 2: No, but but there's a huge drop six hundred and

1343
01:04:56,200 --> 01:05:00,880
Speaker 2: twenty five thousand. Harry the Hawk makes six hundred k. Well, paid.

1344
01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:03,640
Speaker 1: Those are two of the best mascots in the game.

1345
01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:06,640
Speaker 2: And some would say Benny the Bull, who's third on

1346
01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:08,720
Speaker 2: the list, that's the best one four hundred k, so

1347
01:05:08,760 --> 01:05:11,920
Speaker 2: we're dropping off. Two hundred K goes to the Gorilla

1348
01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:16,160
Speaker 2: and Phoenix. Fifth is Hugo the Hornet with one hundred k.

1349
01:05:16,160 --> 01:05:20,600
Speaker 2: We're dropping off here. Yeah, and so after five, I

1350
01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:22,880
Speaker 2: don't have the list, I guess. I guess that's it.

1351
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:25,080
Speaker 2: I guess there's just only five. The rest do it

1352
01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:26,320
Speaker 2: for the love of the game.

1353
01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:31,960
Speaker 1: For the for the love of the dance, yeah, love

1354
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:33,320
Speaker 1: of the costume, I guess too.

1355
01:05:33,480 --> 01:05:34,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I love the crowd.

1356
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:37,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love the game. Why do you do it? Mascots?

1357
01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:40,080
Speaker 1: What's your reason for the money? You do it? You

1358
01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:42,360
Speaker 1: know it for the smiles you put on those young kids'

1359
01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:43,160
Speaker 1: faces out there.

1360
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:45,800
Speaker 4: It would be the money for me.

1361
01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:50,240
Speaker 1: That's a tough job. Yeah, this guy, those those men

1362
01:05:50,280 --> 01:05:53,720
Speaker 1: and women, because I don't know who's under there. Man,

1363
01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:57,840
Speaker 1: I guess it's a man. But I will say they

1364
01:05:57,840 --> 01:06:01,280
Speaker 1: are underpaid drastically to be a good mascot.

1365
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:04,840
Speaker 4: Some of the shitty ones, you're getting your money worth

1366
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:05,120
Speaker 4: doing it.

1367
01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:08,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, But then it's like forty one days a year.

1368
